Chapter 5B-Creative Power

The next level is illustrated by the concept of a Zen koan. A Zen master may ask a pupil, "What do an ice cube, a stop sign and your mother-in-law all have in common?"


There is only one correct answer and it is highly personal and individual. You will feel the correctness of the solution deep in your soul when you find it.


The student or disciple may spend days, months or even years pondering this question. Whenever he approaches the master with a possible solution the master merely says, "That is not the correct solution, try harder."


After perhaps two years the student runs up to the master laughing and with tears in his eyes. He is overcome with emotion and radiates intense excitement.


"I know the answer," he shouts. "Whenever I see my mother-in-law she stops me cold!"


The master congratulates the student and then gives him another more difficult koan. With each success the student is able to find the correct answer more easily and swiftly. Of course the correct answer is always individual and personal but the master and student both can tell when the answer is the correct one by the emotional rightness it has.


This is a very high degree of problem solving where only a few simple words are used as a key to unlock the creative power within us. As before each effort builds upon the successes of previous efforts. With experience the difficulty goes away and the solution readily appears.


The highest level of creative problem solving is when a person blanks their mind and deliberately tries to be open to all possibilities. They reject "possible" solutions because they are familiar with the euphoria and inner joy that comes from the truly "correct" solution.


The exciting news is that this level of creative ability can be developed by anyone with practice and hard work. But they must first master the lower levels of creative problem solving.
Mastery of each of the lower levels is an important and easy way to get a great number of personal successes under one's belt. This assists in strengthening personal confidence and self-esteem.


The creative ability is like a muscle that must be flexed many times for it to grow strong. It is like dissolving salt in a glass of water. You can add more and more salt and nothing happens. At a critical point the water can contain no more salt and the salt crystallizes out of the water.


In the same manner when we focus our attention fully on our problem and give it our energy and effort a point will eventually be reached where the proper solution crystallizes into our awareness. With experience we become familiar with the process and it becomes easier and swifter to accomplish. Each success makes the next one easier and we learn to trust ourselves more.


In time our ability to focus and generate this creative energy can become spontaneous and happen without effort on our part. It is at this point we are competent and resilient in life. Our ability to deal with life becomes an enjoyable challenge and not a burden. We actually look forward to the next challenge from the unknown.
